About us
Hi, plant lovers! My name is Missy Rohs, and I run the Arctos School of Herbal Studies. We offer classes in medicine making, botanical identification, medicinal gardening, mushroom hunting, bioregional ecology, herbal remedies, wildcrafting, urban foraging, and more. We have a strong emphasis on sustainability and a passion for social justice that informs our work.
